NRL Players and family members in hot water

Furthermore….
When the **** are these blokes going to learn???
What the **** is actually wrong with these guys??
Legit question.
The young, dumb, too much money too early excuse is invalid. You’re a human being in your 20s. You know the difference between right and wrong.

@theshed i was just about to say the same!
DON’T want to jump at shadows etc… BUT…
This will be the first real test for Madge…
IF it is indeed correct and he was under the influence… TEAR UP his contract and **** him off. We can sign Walker, have him there until Black is ready. Similar type of players, but oh well. Better yet, sign a half decent veteran, who will lead the team around post Reynolds, pre Black.
Great excuse to get rid of Mam, have a public execution to make sure the rest of these blokes fall in line. This is a job, you’re getting paid to perform.

Save some money and get Hunt for two years so when Reynolds inevitably breaks down next year we still have a very experienced half

Agree. I don't think Mam is worth the money, and I don't think he's the guy to take over after Reynolds, and a message has to be sent with a new start about to begin. This is a good opportunity and I hope the club seizes it, even better if we can get Hunt.

 

[Dash]

Sack him, bring Hunt in for a year or two and spend that time looking for a new long-term 5/8

get out of jail free card here for the broncos. Whether Madge is game enough to do so so soon in his role is a different question.
Given he is a very popular player amongst the squad, I doubt they will say bye bye

 

[Mick_Hancock]

Hunt at 6 for a year at 750 is not a bad shout.

 

[Mick_Hancock]

He would play his ring out being back home with his mates and at his old club

I think this is an important factor... he's one of Walsh's best mates in the squad.

People will be like "well **** it piss Walsh off as well"... you do that and we are in FULL rebuild mode... people asking for post-Reynolds solution... Walsh is our post Reynolds.

This fucking squad though... bunch of fucking children... starting to wonder if the broncos will ever have a full squad of professionals again.

Dave D should just do it before Madge gets a chance to even put his feet under the desk (with Madge’s input of course). They’re already feeling some kind of way about Dave over Kev, he might as well double down and allow Madge to stand at arms distance.

No player can be bigger than the Broncs, so if this happens so be it. We will still have players lining up to come to us, we just need to make the right choices. Something that is unlikely to happen under this R&R team though unfortunately.

 

[Sproj]

1 week suspension and a fine, that's as bad as it's going to get.

Not if he was driving down the wrong side of the road as well.

The club would just have to reframe it as a thought experiment and ask the players how they would have felt if it was one of their own inner circle members Mam had struck, if it gets to that point.

I've said it before recently...and about the same fuckstick.

Some of these blokes just haven't been raised right by their parents. No idea about respect ....right and wrong.....
no fucken idea about life, fullstop.

New contract or not......I'd be only keeping him on a contract that's based on his 2024 form and also reflective on his behavioural/incidents jacket. (no ...not his jacket without sleeves) but the times he's made the media for the wrong reasons. It would be starting to add up.

600K/season....until he can prove he's not a fuckstick. Which at this rate might actually work out well for us...... IF we can get some good footy out of him in the meantime.

and as for...."we can't sack him because "he's Reecey's best mate" ....... OMG, get fucked
...is this what we've become??
No way does Reece Walsh have anything to do with this decision and if he or some of the other member of the squad don't like it.....they can **** off too.

For too long the tail has been wagging the dog with this club.

Win Grand Finals boys and you can do whatever the **** you like....... until then
shut the **** up.

This is only silver lining for me I hope Madge brings. A bit of hard nosed Craig Bellamy style football team management.

It`s annual leave time ATM .
Pretty hard to justify sacking some one for a traffic accident in the off season during their holidays .

You can if they were drug driving

Huge difference between a simple car accident which was unavoidable, and someone who makes a deliberate decision to get in their vehicle, and drive whilst under the influence.

Regardless of whether or not Ezra was wasted .. so tired of players not giving 2 flying *****. Stop bringing our game, and our club into disrepute ffs. How hard can it be.

If standards are not set now .. expect many more instances like this one. Let's just hope the standards kick in in time before someone else has to die.

No it'd be easy to justify, particuarly given the off season has never played a role in punishments in the NRL.

Enough talk about getting Hunt.

Been there done that. He cost us a GF win in 2015
